ha ha, you lot really are a great bunch. lighten up!
[b]chris82[/b], yes i work in a call centre full of lawyers 🙄 Also, it might interest you to know that probably less than 1% of lawyers involved in commercial law ever have the need to go to court, and that you are confusing "the law" with "the judicial system". Easy mistake to make.
I accept that my attitude has been rude throughout this thread, but let's be fair, you lot have hardly been outstanding internet citizens have you? I've taken way more abuse than i've handed out.
for all those who think they are more qualified to provide insight into the law, you might want to get yourselves one of these first (like the one on the wall beside my desk)

Ohh, he's got a stickyfut. MUST be important then. 😉

A call centre full of lawyers who are twiddling their thumbs and messing about on the internet?
i can't even take a wee in 3 units
So how many units does it take to find your cock?
Yeah, well come back when you've finished practicising
We all have one of those

A lawyer working in a call centre? That will be ambulance chasers then
Hope your advice is better than your grasp of the law on here would seem to be.
You still haven't told us what the other people in the picture could sue for as you claimed.
Yeah, well come back when you've finished practicising
sorry to be pedantic, but if you're going to make a fool of someone, you might want to learn to spell first.
keep it coming, as you can tell i'm not particularly busy today so the entertainment is most welcome.
At what point did you drop your briefs and take up soliciting? 😉
Is it laminated and stuck to the wall with a drawing pin?

you work in that call center cos you couldnt get a pupilage.
am i right?
This just keeps getting better 😉
if you're going to make a fool of someone
Oh, we're not trying to make a fool of you. You're doing a great job yourself.

Two of the funniest things I've heard this week. I always thought that solicitors were a high flying bunch. At least the ones I know are.
Yoohoo999, you are Lionel Hutz and I claim my £5!
On and your stickyfut covers the year 2008 - 2009. At what point in 2009 does / did it expire?
Me too. I'll get out my astronauts certificate too soon 🙂

And mines framed.
And here it was being presented to me...

OK, pushed that one a bit far.
ha ha, it's considered poor taste to frame a bit of paper that every lawyer on every floor in your entire building has and is renewed every year.
Still, I bet you didn't get cheer leaders presenting it, did you now? 😆
also, it's not laminated, it's actually in a very exclusive polypocket.
and it wasn't presented to me by cheerleaders, it was presented to me by Jimmy Saville.
On and your stickyfut covers the year 2008 - 2009. At what point in 2009 does / did it expire?
every solicitor has their practising certificate cover 1 Nov to 31 Oct each each year, it doesn't vary, then the firm gets you a new one when your old one expires. a nice new bit of paper on your desk one morning that looks exactly the same as the one before but with new dates one it. it's terribly exciting.
I've had diarrhea today. But with free mobile internet, this thread and the mojo one, it's hardly been any inconvenience at all.
(As an aside, for a statement to be defamatory the imputation must tend to lower the claimant in the estimation of [i]right-thinking members of society[/i] generally, so posting it on [i]here[/i] might not count)
^ i'm no litigator, but there are certainly a number of cases where libel has been established where newsgroups and websites have been the medium used.
stop feeding the troll 😕
to be fair, pitduck. i'm hardly trolling.
yoohoo999, I noticed you didn't post on the earlier "Anyone in a job they actually enjoy" thread 😆

yoohoo999 - Member^ i'm no litigator,
Thats easy to tell
This is proving much more entertaining than I first thought it would be. It certainly reinforces my opinion of lawyers, and call centre based ones. 'What's the difference between a dead lawyer in the road and a dead skunk in the road? There's skid marks in front of the skunk!'
'Why don't sharks eat lawyers? Professional courtesy'
Even yoohoo999's username stops anyone taking him seriously. God knows, there's no way I'd want him representing me. I'd want a [i]Professional[/i] lawyer.
charming.
you do know that lawyers don't actually work in call centres right? we work in the big shiny buildings that you aren't allowed in.
Who says i'm not allowed?
Bet i've got better clearance than you!
So what? You don't have access codes for the building I work in either. You wouldn't be allowed in unaccompanied. Big shiny building; I bet you're just the tea boy with delusions of grandeur. Or the janitor.
Goes to show: not all solicitors are clever or funny. Some are actually quite pathetic. I prefer Physicists and Engineers myself, so it's a good job I keep dealings with the legal types to a minimum (mainly Patent Attorneys). We've got a special barbed wire fence around the whole site - absolutely no solicitors are allowed in unless they can estimate the power to weight ratio of a swallow to within 10% (or guess my favourite colour).
blue.
i'm actually quite liking yoohoo999, he seems quite witty, doing some troll feeding and probably maybe right in some cases in which he's stating. Its just unfortunate that the reason he may be right is that people like him have made the law what it is today, which is unjust, unreasonably and for the rich, a great savings scheme.
Maybe what the OP could do is somehow find out the serial number of the bike whilst the bike is outside the shop, write it down, call the police saying he's spotted his bike, when they turn up pass on the serial number to them and claim back the bike
what a great way to start the friday morning 🙂 Yoohoo Yoohoo999 are you back at college today - presume yesterday was you day release "day in the real world" with real people that work?
Anyway - lawyers aside - I'm just back from my morning run & took the opportunity to 'case the joint' 🙂
As I suspected, there's not really anywhere to lock the bike to so, if he turns up today I will have to snatch it or follow him back to work/home & then call the police.
I think it'll be the snatch as I really don't have much faith in the police being able to react quick enough.

I'm going into town for lunch today, so I'll keep my eyes open for you.
Thanks Mike but I may have to put it off till next week now
There's a bit of a panic on at work for a client that needs sorting this morning
"I may have to put it off till next week now"
damn, my plans for a flashmob of pitchfork and torch waving former victims of bike thefts are in ruins.
I may still make it 😀
send in the lawyers!

African or European?
OK - I'm off in about 10 mins
My wife has made me promise not to do anything that may be confrontational so I'll be on my bike & if he shows, I'll follow him
Unless of course, the heat of the moment gets the better of me 😉
